So you have your polynomial. To factor this out, you need to find the factors of -45 that will add up to 3. These two factors would be -5 and 8. So, you have factored your polynomial! (x-5)(x+8). If you are still unsure, simply use the FOIL method to check and see if you get the same polynomial back. Hope this helps!
<u>Part 1) </u>To find the measure of ∠A in ∆ABC, use
we know that
In the triangle ABC
Applying the law of sines

in this problem we have

therefore
<u>the answer Part 1) is</u>
Law of Sines
<u>Part 2) </u>To find the length of side HI in ∆HIG, use
we know that
In the triangle HIG
Applying the law of cosines

In this problem we have
g=HI
G=angle Beta
substitute


therefore
<u>the answer Part 2) is</u>
Law of Cosines
The GCF of 36 and 81 is 9
36/9 = 4 water balloons
81/9 = 9 beads
Katrina can invite 9 friends, with each getting 4 water balloons and 9 beads
